Space to Hear Yourself

At the end of my yoga class last night, I found myself having some great ideas for what to do in my life. And I often find that the best ideas for blog posts, videos and articles come when I am not sat at my desk in front of my keyboard! Why is this? Well, because we have much more wisdom than we give ourselves credit for. Whenever we’re trying to ‘think’ of a solution, we are putting immense pressure on our brain to come up with a piece of brilliance in the middle of the problem.

But creativity doesn’t work so well in a confined space like that. Ever had someone breathing down your neck as you’re trying to do something? It doesn’t help a lot does it? In fact, it makes it more pressured and difficult. You need to create the space to be able to hear yourself – your inner self, your intuition, which whispers gently to you. And that can’t be heard if you are shouting in the caverns of your mind ‘I NEED AN ANSWER’.

So when was the last time you had space to hear yourself? And when is the next time? Ideally, this will be daily…but even if you start with giving yourself space once this week, that’s a start!

OnTheBeach – Getting Away From It All

A note from Donna

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I thought I had written, saved, and scheduled my newsletter for today long ago. Sadly I was completely and utterly mistaken! So this is being hastily written on a Sunday evening while watching Stephen Fry drive a black cab around the USA… So I’ll keep it short and sweet this week!

Getting Away From It All

When was the last time you had a day away? Just a day away from everything? No work, no hassle, no noise and bustle? I often speak to new clients who say ‘I have no idea what I want to do with my life’ – and when I ask how long they’ve spent thinking about it (away from everything else, in peaceful pondering, not frantic monkey mind), it is no surprise they’ve no idea, because there is no time to consider it.

Think about it for a second – how would you love to plan your life? In a frantic moment between work and chores, or in a quiet, meditative, peaceful moment? I would guess that you would love to plan your life in a peaceful moment…but how many of them do you have?! Our bodies, our minds, our hearts and our souls need rest time, need to have space and quiet to restore ourselves to our natural state of good health.

Do you get much of that??? If you do, you’re a rare bird! Most of us feel lucky just to get a few week’s holiday in a year and the odd peaceful moment here and there. But to really plan your one and only life, you need to set aside specific time to tune into the voice of your soul, and figure out where you really want to go. You have within you every answer you could possibly need…give your inner self a chance to be heard, and get away from it all. Your life is worth it.

Something to play with

Take out your diary right now and plan a day, or an afternoon, or a couple of hours where you can just go somewhere quiet and ponder, ruminate, deliberate, contemplate, muse and reflect about your life. Share your thoughts on this post – leave me a comment below.
